    What kind of tractor do you have? Some can only set to 59, others 60/61. Just depends. I had a tractor for a little while where I could set the cruise all the way up to the governor (64/65). That tractor's settings were all screwed up because the tach also wasn't governed. Could run the truck up to 3000 rpms if I wanted to LOL.

    Could also be the case that they are all running overspeed, but that isn't likely. Next time you are driving through Illinois and you hit a construction zone see what those radar displays say you speed is. That's the easiest way to tell what you top cruise speed is.

    I love my cruiser, don't think I could ride a crotch rocket, even when I was young. If you go to a cruiser you will love it. So comfy!

    It's also frustrating to be the office person on a dedicated account, which most of the drivers have been on for several years, and they start their clock at 0300, then come in the office every hour asking when their load will be ready, knowing that it has a ready time of 1400. They don't seem to understand when I tell them I will call, message them, or bring the bills out to them when they are ready. They come in every hour to see if the bills are ready yet. I've even told them not to start their clock until I call them to tell them the load is ready. Then they vent at me because they may be late making on time delivery.

    Oh no no no. I get my load it has a load ready time. When I come in after that time to get my load, if it isn't ready, I make a phone call then go home for the day LMAO. I ain't waiting for a load. If it isn't ready when I come to pick it up, that means it is gonna be late, and 95% of our customers won't take loads late.

    I have owned plenty of cruisers. If you want to look good and be loud, get a Harley(nothing wrong with that I own one) but if you want to look good, be a sleeper and blow a Harley off the road get a mid 80's V4. I like my Harley but I picked up an 86 Honda v45 for cheap....wow, am I impressed for a 30 year old bike. It is only a 700 and it blows my 1200 Harley out of the water.

    some are still figuring out what ready time/date and appt time/date mean. 1400 doesnt mean 0800.
